This learning resource examines the pivotal role played by Father Miguel Hidalgo in the Mexican War of Independence, examining his visionary leadership, calls for social and political reform, and the challenges that marked the path to an independent Mexico. Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores" marked the movement's inception, driven by Enlightenment ideals of equality, liberty, and fraternity. His leadership extended beyond societal divisions, uniting various classes and ethnicities under a shared cause. Hidalgo's emphasis on education, enlightenment, and radical social reform inspired a collective push for change. The Plan of Iguala introduced a shift in political strategy, proposing a constitutional monarchy.
